🔎 MTA evades review from state’s Authorities Budget Office for five years

I know you want to see which bills are on Hochul’s desk right now, but we’re going to take a quick detour first.

I’ve been waiting for the Authorities Budget Office to release its annual report on the finances of New York’s 592 public authorities, including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, for four months.

It’s now finally out but, as is noted several times, it doesn’t include the full picture of the state’s public authorities. 

That’s because they didn’t get anything from the MTA, the state agency that faced a fiscal crisis last year but will receive revenue from Gov. Kathy Hochul’s revival of congestion pricing.

“This is the fifth consecutive year the MTA has not been included in the analysis for the ABO Annual Report,” the report says.
